Free beauty & grooming tip: Patch test and ventilation (step 2 of 14 from "Make Your Own Perfume at Home").

Open a window. Sniff oils one at a time with cap off 30 seconds — not full inhale. Patch test diluted drop on inner wrist 24 h before wearing.

If an oil burns your nose at arm's length, use less in the blend.

Pro tip: Write batch number on every bottle — you'll forget which is which in two weeks.
